《Virgin Ground》歌词

[00:00:00] Virgin Ground - Redgum

[00:00:33] Sydney town 1885

[00:00:36] Sulphur air and blackened skies

[00:00:40] And you live your life

[00:00:41] In the pocket of a richer man

[00:00:47] In the sheds and the docks

[00:00:49] And down the mines

[00:00:51] From the back blocks of Queensland

[00:00:53] To the Goutre line

[00:00:56] Thanks for the money

[00:00:57] And they kick the strikers down with guns

[00:01:03] We won't drop anchor

[00:01:05] Till we reach Alta Mira sound

[00:01:12] Heave away we're new Australia bound

[00:01:20] Heave away we're new Australia bound

[00:01:28] For virgin ground

[00:01:45] In pucky little offices in Adelaide

[00:01:48] You count company profits but you're underpaid

[00:01:52] There must be more to life

[00:01:54] Than the promise of another day

[00:02:00] So collect the tools and pack your bags

[00:02:04] Sea is calling hoist a brave new flag

[00:02:08] We'll make history in the forests of Paraguay

[00:02:16] We won't drop anchor

[00:02:18] Till we reach Altermira sound

[00:02:25] Heave away we're new Australia bound

[00:02:33] Heave away we're new Australia bound

[00:02:41] For virgin ground

[00:03:21] Wide eyed romantics and a heartbreak dream

[00:03:25] Your motives aren't what they seem

[00:03:28] You've got your feet caked in Australian mud

[00:03:32] And you can't deny

[00:03:34] What's in your blood

[00:03:36] Under Paraguay skies and the nights so cold

[00:03:40] You can forsake your country

[00:03:42] And lose your soul

[00:03:48] You've got to run from your troubles

[00:03:50] No need to stand your ground

[00:03:56] Heave away we're new Australia bound

[00:04:03] We won't drop anchor

[00:04:05] Till we reach Alta Mira sound

[00:04:12] Heave away we're new Australia bound

[00:04:20] For virgin ground
